The Property
With wonderful views over Minchinhampton Common towards the village and church at the front and over the Stroud valley to the opposite hills at the back, this house has been extended and updated over the years, including new windows and doors, giving a sense of space and light. It is set back from the road by a large drive providing parking for several cars. A front porch with a partially vaulted ceiling and tiled floor, currently used as a home office, welcomes you inside, where an inner hallway leads to the ground-floor accommodation and stairs rise to the first floor. Wooden floors run through the openplan sitting and dining room. A bay window frames the front sitting area, which includes a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while the dining space opens via bi-fold doors onto the sun terrace and rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room flows directly from the dining area and is fitted with modern units, wooden worktops, a dishwasher, oven and gas hob, with glazed panels and bi-fold doors drawing in natural light and views of the garden. A utility room provides side access and leads to a shower room. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer flexible accommodation. One bedroom benefits from a dual aspect, and another features a bay window overlooking Minchinhampton Common. A third bedroom, arranged in two areas, faces the front, while the fourth looks out over the rear garden. The family bathroom includes a bath and separate shower, and a cupboard houses the boiler and pressurised water system. A further staircase from the landing leads to the loft, which, subject to building regulations, could be converted into a principal bedroom with an en suite, for which the architect’s plans are available.
Outside
A front Cotswold stone boundary wall, with a cattle grid and pedestrian gate, provides access to the block-paved driveway, offering ample parking. A small lawn at the front is planted with a variety of trees and shrubs. A gravelled side path, with gate, leads to the extensive rear garden. The rear features a sun terrace adjoining the house, with steps down to a level lawn enclosed by Cotswold stone walls, fencing and hedging. The summer house requires some repair. An attached garage includes a roller door, power and lighting, and a pedestrian door opening onto the terrace.
